Mark 7:36

7:36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anything. But as much as he ordered them not to do this, they proclaimed it all the more. ² 

Matthew 8:4

Matthew 12:16

12:16 But he sternly warned them not to make him known.

[5:43]  ¹ sn That no one should know about this. See the note on the phrase who he was in 3:12.

[7:36]  ² tn Grk “but as much as he ordered them, these rather so much more proclaimed.” Greek tends to omit direct objects when they are clear from the context, but these usually need to be supplied for the modern English reader. Here what Jesus ordered has been clarified (“ordered them not to do this”), and the pronoun “it” has been supplied after “proclaimed.”

[8:4]  ³ sn The command for silence was probably meant to last only until the cleansing took place with the priests and sought to prevent Jesus’ healings from becoming the central focus of the people’s reaction to him. See also 9:30, 12:16, 16:20, and 17:9 for other cases where Jesus asks for silence concerning him and his ministry.

[8:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “gift.”

[8:4]  ⁵ sn On the phrase bring the offering that Moses commanded see Lev 14:1-32.

[8:4]  ⁶ tn Or “as an indictment against them.” The pronoun αὐτοῖς (autoi") may be a dative of disadvantage.
